What dreams are like for me:

In most dreams I have I lack a sense of self awareness. I am not in a dream right now because I can realize that I am here that for some people they would call the opposite of delirium.

In my dreams it is like delirium.
Not fully aware of where I am or what I am doing.

But I can experience dreams in a multitude of environments and places that don't exist in the real world. Only my experience of them is like a four year old and not much light exists in the dreams but a dark room.

It was interesting what I did last night was some kind of carnival instead a mall. I did stuff with people and it was like a forest and circus and I went other places in rooms and buildings.

It's like this and many other ways but never open spaces with sky. It's dark and I have the mind of a four year old.

How this relates to IQ

What the brain does is creates a simulation of the world so we can navigate it. It does so by folding itself into loops. This is how memory can be created. So when we dream we are only interacting with pieces of recombining memories.

This means we have to take into consideration what it is we are paying attention to. If we only have interaction with ourselves in dreams then it matters what we can control.

I believe that the control mechanism is the same as the attention mechanism. So the more we have a top down attention the more control we have to manipulate our memories and thinking processes.

A four year old cannot do much because both bottom up perception (details) and top down attention (control) are not complex enough to handle many things at the same time.

My dreams seem to be connected to many places not existing in real life but I can move there. In reality I can move in that space also with constraints.

It is the fact that the brain interacting with itself that creates dreams and our navigation of reality that gave me the idea I have now.

The idea.

If I connect to myself I can pay attention to more than one thing at the same time. Then I can move it in my mind. The more I can move then the more I can think about.

In perception we can see and hear millions of signals. But usually can only contend with four thoughts at the same time. That is the top of the frontal lobes each has two thoughts in the left and right hemisphere. The brain works this way because we have two hands.

We can remember more than Four things at once but to put them together we need top down attention, removing most of the sensory signals.

I believe that attention can be increased and is why we grow past four year old thinking. All that needs to be done is to try connecting to oneself more. We interact with ourselves in dreams but we can also consciously control how aware we are so can develop a higher awareness.

A quotient or quantity is not measured by IQ but a relative position on a curve (the 1 in x)

This isn't helpful.

Neither is executive functioning alone.

Ones ability for high abstract reasoning is more helpful but it needs to be defined for it to be generally understood.

Abstract reasoning requires both sequential and parallel prediction. It also requires knowing consequences and testing hypothesis.

Thus dependencies all together.

Thinking ones way through a process.

In fact it is a systems approach.

It is also a paradigm shift.

When thoughts come together for a whole new perspective on a situation or problem.

We learn a metacognition on how to think.

It is not that people cannot do this but how fast they develop it. Often the rate at which people are going will determine if they give up or not because they cannot think of all options available. Experience with thinking entails going around multiple angles to seek ways of coming to new concepts, "insight". This happens slower or faster.

After enough time one can simply generate answers within ones domain of expertise.

Abstract reasoning then is not measurable.

It is qualitative through experience coming together in the mind.

It might be the case that pattern recognition is large but this doesn't necessarily mean one can put together thoughts proportionately. Executive function can both be internal and external. To grasp a whole system you need a "big picture view".

(What needs to come together and why)

A brain tries to do this at the speeds it can.

As long as it can hold in mind what needs to be done it can work on it and not forget.

Anyone can do this if they can control the impulse to get ahead of themselves.

Thinking can be developed.

My brother plays Minecraft

He likes to build things.

I am not sure why but it could be he was good at it so kept doing it.

That is how things usually are.

It gave me new thoughts on thought generation.

Body motion integration

Anything to do with the brain is to do with projecting where and when to move the body.

And the Navi Blue cat aliens moving about in tree's are where humans are just like that.

Abstract Thought comes latter but moving ideas around by memory functions.

Beforehand you take in the environment then consider what needs to be done.

Interconnectedness is still important.

But the complexity of it depends on the selection pressure that created it first.

-

The rather simple problems in Minecraft take an architecture of thought conducive to getting things where they need to be.

Abstraction cannot work without this but also abstraction is different. As a function it compresses information into loops.

Thought generation coming up with ideas to tryout as big problems broken down into smaller manageable pieces the body can do.

Reasoning would not work without having some goal in mind to get something of value.

How depends on if everything works together (can bigger thoughts understand the system at large) which places limits on some goals.

You might need to experiment before a big problem can be found a solution for.
